Glad to see the crew is exploring different cities now. What I would really like to see is Joe heading back over to the UK to go on a road trip and explore the food found outside of London. Americans may not realise it but London is absolutely a bubble of its own and doesn't represent the rest of the UK at all, it's a run of the mill international city. Rural northern towns, the west country, and the whole run of our coastlines have some exceptional regional cuisines that Londoner's have never even heard of. I'd love to see how Joe handles a steak and kidney pudding.
The US is similar, but due to media and tourism a lot of people think New York/LA, or any major city like Vegas, are representative of the US when they're really not. For example they did "Best Barbecue" but did it in LA which isn't known for that at all. Would of been better to go to Texas, Kansas, Tennessee, or the Carolinas.
What I find remarkable is how good of friends Harry and Joe have become. When they first started, they seemed very much the odd couple. Now they are finishing each other's sentences.
this duo is so special already, at this point please let them do anything they want and budget every trip of theirs also could we get some of the traveling side of their trips too? they are fun to look at doing anything together
what I really love about watching Joe and Harry is that they started as strangers from across the world but they've come together and built such an organic and natural friendship over their love of food.
Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that nonsense. If that were true then any muscle that got used a lot would become soft and weak. Which...is the literal opposite of what happens.
Fun Fact......They are called Bangers because in the old days Butchers would add water to the Sausage meat to bulk it out (charge more but put in less). When you cook it the water would get hot and Bang!🇬🇧👍
More interesting fact "old days" means during WW2, when due to being in the front line of U-boat , was in short supply and often bulked out. It's the major reason British food has such a bad reputation with Americans. Thousands of U.S troops came from a country who joined the war late and had no rationing, it's not surprising that after 3 years of war and attacks on shipping British food was based purely on calorie count not taste.
Also why they used to say you have to prick your sausages with a fork before cooking them - to let the steam out. It was needed with the old watery bangers and a lot of older people still do it to this day but you don’t need to do it with ‘modern’ sausages! 😂
I did the Wynn lunch buffet for over $50. It's not worth it unless you gorge on Dungeoness crab, which I couldn't even properly do cuz the waiter took forever to get me a pair of claw crackers.
The Rampart Casino dinner buffet is only open from 4pm-8pm, closed Wednesdays, its a 15 mile drive west of the strip hotels and the cost for dinner has gone up a little to $32.99 + tax + tip.
Just checked the website for the supposed $30 spot, and said price requires some kind of specific credit card 🤨 Maybe a membership of sorts to the hotel itself? Regardless I’m pissed lol
They say in the video they could only film in certain buffets. Most told them no. Hence them going to places that don't even make locals' top 10 lists of decent buffets like Palms and Rampart. I wouldn't send people I don't like to Rampart. So, I definitely would not send a YT Channel that has come to film a food video searching for the best buffets in the city I know pretty darn well.
As a teenage I lived a two blocks away from a Chinese buffet, I figured out how to stack a plate. Literally could get everything I wanted in the buffet on 1 plate.
As usual, Joe makes an all encompassing statement that is only really true for him. In New England as well as Upstate New York we do eat Fluff. I grew up having Fluffernutter sandwiches and still enjoy them occasionally today.
@@GBH001no he wouldn’t. We use a mix of metric and imperial in the UK, and although we understand pounds. Grams and Kilograms are far far more common usage regarding weight. Gym weights, weighing food, people giving their own weight can be a mix between kg and stone though. But generally when it comes to weight, people have a greater perception and understanding of KGs than pounds.
@chriswyatt9869 Kind of depends on the context. I know what 500g of cheese is, or how big is a 3kg leg of lamb, but if someone told me they were 1.75m tall and weighed 95kg I wouldn't have a clue if that's short and fat or tall and skiny.
Yeah, that moment made me pause and go, “Errr…” 😂 If he’d converted it to stones and pounds (13st 10), I feel like it would have been more understandable as well because that’s like, the average weight of a fairly tall guy.
4:51 Harry - never crack the middle of the snow crab leg, much less the flat side. Always crack the ends, the joint/end that’s closer to the body needs to detach along with the cartilage so that when you crack the other end, the whole leg meat comes out. Joe seemed to be experienced since he pulled the whole leg meat out 4:55
@@imatdubai9276 Except that you're touching other people's crab legs... it doesn't matter that you don't eat the shell. A lot of people don't wash their hands after using the restroom.
Agreed. People fear buffets for that sole reason. I trust the staff to use their hands without gloves, but I don’t trust a single customer to wash their hands.
Fluff I believe is from the Boston area so perhaps an East Coast thing......great for fluffer nutter sandwiches (peanut butter and fluff (toasted bread is a must)), rice crispy treats, fast making fudge and great if you want to make your own rocky road ice cream.
I am from south Carolina and grew up eating fluff. But only after my step dad who is from west Virginia came in the picture. So I think it is more of a north east thing.
Really enjoyed this video, great you covered a budget friendly buffet, mid range price, and the most expensive. A part 2 should be done with wynn and wicked spoon.
And I always thought the saying was: "whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". On a serious side, I did work at a swanky hotel in UK that usually catered for weddings that had some quality buffet. The poached salmon was always served shaped like a fish with thin slices of cucumber over the top as if they were scales
Buffets are very popular here in Hong Kong too. Of course not as huge in the US, but still popular. There will be Asian and Western foods. And breakfast buffet are the best!
I went to the Bacchanal back in the day for brunch and it was $60. Pretty crazy but it was an experience. Getting mimosas was great while eating super nice seafood.
1:40 Bacchanal at Caesar’s (👍 Expensive @ $80/pp, but great value for high-quality buffet. The desserts 😍) 12:09 Market Place at Rampart H&C (🏅 Fantastic/quieter $21 buffet & $8 AYCD beer/wine) 20:13 Joe pulling out Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen analogy for carrot cake 😂 22:37 A.Y.C.E. at Palms ($43/pp great value, whether lobster days or Prime Rib Friday)
if Harry wants a buffet in the UK that serves so many different options and not just Breakfast, he should check out ZaZa Bazzar in bristol, this is not an advert i just like it
I loved this one, it was very “down to Earth.” Great commentary as usual, and fantastic chemistry between them with each location. I will admit $80 is a good amount, so the second location seemed the best “bang for the buck.” 🍗 🥩 🦞 👏 😋
Love you two together! Easy viewing with intriguing content. Buffets are fantastic, when they take the time & effort into what you receive. Good choices!
Would love to see them exploring different places in the UK. There is a fantastic food scene outside of London and the basics are also better and cheaper
I looked into this and it's basically that "irresponsible" all you can drink deals were banned. So very cheap deals, ladies drink free deals, or other gimmicky deals were banned. That's why the ones that you find are either: expensive, or they make it so you don't get insanely drunk. Or they're just ignoring the law, I guess. But if a place got complaints that ppl were coming out dangerously drunk and causing issues a lot, then that place may be in danger of being closed down.
Really exceptional video, should have more views. Some of these are ridiculous value that they don’t even seem real. This series is so good because it brings the comfort/relatability for both Brits and Americans.
Love Vegas, but for other places outside Vegas I've been to, especially Amish Style Amish Buffet Recommendations: - Central Illinois, Arcola - Shipshewanna, IN - Lancaster, Lancaster CO., PA Trust Me, you won't be disappointed
OMG I was watching the Diner tours and this auto played right after, how lucky. They're my favorite Food " Critics" lol. They describe the food very well, along with their expectations.
8:00 when discussing bangers, it's based on the meat content. Bangers can't be called sausages because they're below a certain amount of meat they contain more connective tissue and fillers.
Joe should have told him the sweet potato casserole with marshmallows is usually a thanksgiving dish and isn’t eaten much outside of that day, by most families anyway.

It still bugs me they did curry houses just in London, best curry is outside the capital.

@@MTGeomancer I agree. I recently visited Tennessee from the UK and absolutely loved the cooking there.
What a load of bollocks!

What I find remarkable is how good of friends Harry and Joe have become. When they first started, they seemed very much the odd couple. Now they are finishing each other's sentences.
They are like doughnuts 🍩 and hot coffee ☕️
I mostly just watch to see these two together.
When you have so many meals, staring another man in the eyes, a connection is established.
I'm waiting for them to go independent and set up their own food channel
good note, they've definitely become friends. I wish i had a bro bud to go to buffets and stuff pepehands

Joe's dictionary -
Birds ❌
Sky meat ✅
😅😂😅
Beef being tenderized by the cow walking and putting weight on a muscle is the dumbest and most untrue shit anyone has ever said about meat.
Right? lol
Yes. Nonsense. It’s the opposite!
Yea thats what makes it tough xD I nearly shit hearing that. Being in the meat industry that boy needs some education on the matter lol.
Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that nonsense. If that were true then any muscle that got used a lot would become soft and weak. Which...is the literal opposite of what happens.
maybe he's saying another cow walked on that cow putting his weight on that leg to tenderize it :D
Harry and Joe really have become my two favourite dudes

Why did the struggling sausage maker add water to his sausage? Because he was having difficulty making both ends meat.

My Nan still pricks her sausages with a fork when cooking them to prevent the “bang”
$30 for AYCE food and beer/wine is absolutely insane for anywhere, let alone Vegas. wow. Next time I'm there, I need to find this place.
Crazy Lawsuit Buffet? Not in Nevada it ain't!

Nothing like taking a day off school and a Food Tours episode coming out!
wtf does taking a day off school mean, did you ask your manager lmao
@@ismbks my exact thoughts 😂 we used to call that skiving or bunking off lol
You've just had summer holidays.
Each day of school you miss, the farther you fall behind.
guys chill it was a field trip day💀🙏
Can't beat the Buffet at the Wynn, but the Bacchanal is a one-time must do.
It comes down to preference. If you want more variety, go Bacchanal, if you’re more seafood focused, go Wynn.

The fact that Bon Appetit just did a video on the inner workings of Bacchanal and then Joe and Harry went there to try it is awesome
Harry and Joe make every video, the affinity they have just makes you feel like the 3rd person with them. They are Insider food 🙏
When they traded crabs... so romantic! I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to say that sentence again and mean it.
Relationship goals
Harry and Joe carry the Platinum chip
Hell yeah
The game was rigged from the start
As a teenage I lived a two blocks away from a Chinese buffet, I figured out how to stack a plate. Literally could get everything I wanted in the buffet on 1 plate.
Key to a good buffet is how fresh the food is from the cooking time till the service 😊

True to most of the USA. It's a regional thing I've never had and I've live in several states. Sounds like a fun thing to try.
Harry does this too. I think they do it to exaggerate things.
Exactly.
When Harry says "all Brits cannot be trusted with unlimited alcohol," again, terrible generalisation.
Actually, maybe he got that one right.
Great video!
One small thing tho, 192 pounds is actually 87kg.

another gud concept would be trying british style food in america and america style food in britain
Yep
That would be awesome
Two complimentary men exploring the world of food, its always been fun.
The pound to kg comparison is a little off I think... 5:15
I was gonna say, it's around 87 kilos, or if you convert the other way 137kg is 302 lbs 🤣
You're right 👍

As a brit, gotta say I love sweet potato casserole. It's amazing. I had it at Golden Corral. This video is making want to go back to Vegas.
That perfectly done orangy-red on the bacon! Baking sheet in the oven with a rack is the way to go.
Always nice to see someone actually using a knife and fork correctly rather than using it as a shovel!!
I'm glad I'm subbed so I know when the first episode of Buffet Blast drops......
Oh HELL yeah Bacchanal is always the highlight of my Vegas trips.
Joe: we eat Fluff here in New England. PB & Fluff is a fantastic sandwich. It is mandatory on hot chocolate. 😊
Would love to see them exploring different places in the UK. There is a fantastic food scene outside of London and the basics are also better and cheaper
Best due on TH-cam
Keep up the good work! Always enjoy the banter over food.
Loved the video!
Looks yummers! keep up the great content guys!
My favorite buffet in Vegas, knocked it off my bucket list. It was glorious.
Great job guys! I was waiting for you to do this in Vegas
Bottomless alcohol is definitely allowed in the UK. There is Bottomless Brunches everywhere.

This series is so good because it brings the comfort/relatability for both Brits and Americans.
there are good and bad reviews on you tube, yours is one of the best!
Joe-I totally understood your Jordan/Pippen reference. I grew up in Chicago during the 90s run. I've used that analogy myself before lol
We’ve been going to A.Y.CE. Buffet for many years and always love the quality and price. ☺️
Love Vegas, but for other places outside Vegas I've been to, especially Amish Style

Wow, they were here!?? I didn't expect that but then again, Welcome to Las Vegas!😊
I literally ate at the bacchanal buffet a few days ago and it was absolutely amazing. Had loads of crab legs
THE BOIS ARE BACK BABY!! Can’t wait for a potential Food Tours International Edition someday!

Possibly the first time I got really giddy watching Food Insider. So want to be there lol
27:30 ' fluffernator' is classic " fluff " and peanut butter , I had it 1986 in Pennsylvania?
Fluffernutter. Combination of Fluff and peanut butter.
The Wynn Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas is also a very nice buffet!
As a Vegas resident it looks like I need to pay the Rmpart a visit, that buffet and beer deal looked gooooood.
Pork crackling! A Food of the Gods!
TH-cam’s back
The buffet at the Wynn is so good!! Slightly better than bacchanal
The BEST buffet I have been to WAS in Vegas and it was the best $90 dollars I have ever spent on a meal! 🤤
You need to do an Alan Partridge and bring your own plate
Got your big plate, Alan?
oh shit, harry and joe are back!
That’s an amazing TV show idea.
I'm from Maine and I most certainly eat and love Fluff. Fluff a Nutterpeanutbutter!
you 2 make a fun pair of friends man ....loved it
Brilliant video! Was that Siegfried and Roy🤣
Harry and Joe have become my new Steven and Andrew
8:00 when discussing bangers, it's based on the meat content. Bangers can't be called sausages because they're below a certain amount of meat they contain more connective tissue and fillers.
The TV show is like worth it on TH-cam haha
I would have loved them exploring a single buffet. Doing something out the norm, trying a bit of everything.
1:22 is freaking me out on repeat
Joe should have told him the sweet potato casserole with marshmallows is usually a thanksgiving dish and isn’t eaten much outside of that day, by most families anyway.
